Static Electricity Precautions
1. Don’t take this motherboard and components out of their original staticproof package until you are ready to install them.
2. While installing, please wear a grounded wrist strap if possible. If you
don’t have a wrist strap, discharge static electricity by touching the bare
metal of the system chassis.
3. Carefully hold this motherboard by its edges. Do not touch those
components unless it is absolutely necessary. Put this motherboard on
the top of static-protection package with component side facing up
while installing.

Chapter 2: Motherboard Installation
Installing the Processor
This motherboard has a LGA775 socket for the latest Intel Pentium 4/Celeron
D processors. When choosing a processor, consider the performance require-
ments of the system. Performance is based on the processor design, the clock
speed and system bus frequency of the processor, and the quantity of internal
cache memory and external cache memory.
CPU Installation Procedure
Follow these instructions to install the CPU:
A. Unload the cap
• Use thumb & forefinger to hold the
lifting tab of the cap.
• Lift the cap up and remove the cap
completely from the socket.
B. Open the load plate
• Use thumb & forefinger to hold the
hook of the lever, pushing down and
pulling aside unlock it.
• Lift up the lever.
• Use thumb to open the load plate.
Be careful not to touch the contacts.

Motherboard User’s Guide
C. Install the CPU on the socket
• Orientate CPU package to the socket.
Make sure you match triangle marker
to pin 1 location.
D. Close the load plate
• Slightly push down the load plate onto
the tongue side, and hook the lever.
• CPU is locked completely.
E. Apply thermal grease on top of the CPU.
F. Fasten the cooling fan supporting base
onto the CPU socket on the
motherboard.
G. Make sure the CPU fan is plugged to
the CPU fan connector. Please refer to
the CPU cooling fan user’s manual for
more detail installation procedure.
Note1:To achieve better airflow rates and heat dissipation, we suggest that
you use a high quality fan with 3800 rpm at least. CPU fan and heatsink
installation procedures may vary with the type of CPU fan/heatsink
supplied. The form and size of fan/heatsink may also vary.
Note2:The fan connector supports the CPU cooling fan of 1.1A~2.2A (26.4W
max.) at +12V.
Installing Memory Modules
This motherboard accommodates three 184-pin 2.5V DIMM sockets (Dual
Inline Memory Module) for unbuffered DDR400/333/266 memory modules
(Double Data Rate SDRAM), and maximum 3.0 GB installed memory. DDR
SDRAM is a type of SDRAM that supports data transfers on both edges of
each clock cycle (the rising and falling edges), effectively doubling the memory
chip’s data throughput.
This motherboard provides the Dual Channel Technology; when activating it, the
bandwidth of memory bus will be doubled to 6.4 GB/s and Frequency 200 MHz
(Channel 1: DIMM1+DIMM3 or Channel 2: DIMM2+DIMM3).
